PARNELL AWAITS PROOF.
HIS ACCUsERs FAIL TO COME TO
THE FRONT.

LONDON, April 2O.-Lord Salisbury, in an
address delivered last night before the Prim-
rose League at Albert Palace, the occasion
b.ino the sixth anniversary of the death Of
ford Beaconsfeld, said the hollow agitation
,s,,.ied on during the Easter holidays by the
Dnposition had failed, and that the govern
mert's cause was the countryS. The gov
.rnment stood in Ireland facing vast ma
rhine producing terrorism and crime,
aoainst which the government intended to
.t,,,gple with all the powers Parliament
would grant. Mr. Gladstone's imagination
deceived him when he attempted to prove
that his partys prospects were very bright.
The rrespnt Irish crimes bill would not COM
mare in stringency with Mr.. Gladstone's bill
of 1881
IMPRISONED WITHOUT TRIAL.
Under the latter measure people were i'm
hrisoned without trial. This could not be
done under the present bill. Suppression of
crime in Ireland did not mean suppression
Of liberty Policemen in arresting Bill
Sykes did not interfere with liberty. Yet
Nj. Gladstone condemned this crimes re-
preston bill. A danger of the present day
law in catchwords Mr.. Gladstone, who had
spent his life in changing his opinions, men
TONED those who separated from him III the
tone of a father lecturing his children He
preached at, and almost prayed for them;
but it never occurred to Mr.. Gladstone that
perhaps they had something to complain of.
They were unable to change their opinions
in night like he could Lord Salisbury
propheSied that Mr. Gladstone would find it
difficult to gather around him any new re-
fruits.
HIS PRESENT FOLLOWERS.
His present adherents had gone too far to
recede What had Mr. Gladstone gained!
asked the Premier. He had gained eighty
six very devoted followers of PaInell, who
had been challenged with having approved
murder and who had refused, or whose
friends had refused for him, to enter the
witness box and deny the charge and this
course Mr.. Gladstone approved. Mr.. Par
nell had been ass4sted with funds subscribed
by men who never approved murder When
man was accused in such manner it was
not onen TO him to put the accusation aside
with copious Use of the elegant vocabulary
his friends had introduced into the House of
Commons He was bound to enter the wit
ness box and deny the charges against him
most solemnly. How could Mr.. Gladstone
60 before the country associated with men
who refused to submit such a question to the
judgment of an English jury!
A FLOOD OF MISREPRESENTATION
! he speaker did not believe in the Glad
Stone Horoscope The victory Mr. Glad
stone efsaAi& in 1880 was won by food
OF misrepresentation that could not be re-
peated The Conservatives were now an
organized party, powerful to refute false
mood and disseminate the truth This con-
dtlon OF the party was largely due to the
work Of the Primrose League. The present
government would, when it left Office, hand
down unlmpaired to their successors the
great trust Of the empire committed to
their care. [Cheers.]
